Weekly Photo Challenge: Family

I just discovered the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge, which promotes inspiration and creativity to all of us in the WordPress Community. I love assignments.

This week’s challenge is Family, which is easy for me. I’m an obsessive photo taker when it comes to family because my family is everything to me.

These photos are all from the month of January, the most recent being from this past weekend when I had the honor of celebrating my 35th birthday with Grammy Alice, who turns 92 this year.

Our beautiful joint birthday cake, though if you look closely, you’ll see that this cake is actually a bunch of cupcakes!

Our visit to the aquarium where Anderson yelled “BIG BIG FISH” continually. He was completely enamored by this place.

Little feet jumping up and down in a puddle.

My boys have the best hair.

Group hug with Grammy and Papa A.

From Pretty Ponies to Shrinky Dinks, this toy bin held all sorts of treasures from when my sister and I were kids in the 80s. Anderson was so thrilled that he laid down in the toys and started swimming through them.

The bird tree stays up well into the new year at my parents’ house. It makes a great hiding spot, too.

There are also many family members out there that I’m missing very much. XO

Hello! I’m Cara and this blog serves as my outlet to share garden adventures, veggie recipes, and general things in life that I’m passionate about like family and nature. My career is in publishing, but I have a camera with me always and dream of someday calling a veggie farm my own. Thanks for stopping by.
